• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without pre-
washing in order to save detergent, water and time
(the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soil-
ing can be removed; the laundry can then be wash-
ed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hard-
ness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laun-
dry being washed.

tap with a 3/4” thread.
35°
45°
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or
right depending on the position of your water tap. Do
not place the inlet hose downwards. After position-
ing the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
Water drainage
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the plastic hose guide supplied with the appliance .
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in four
ways:
• Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plas-
tic hose guide.

Tie the plastic hose guide to the tap with a string to
prevent that the drain hose unhooks when the appli-
ance is emptying.
• Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with
a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to
prevent waste from the sink entering the appliance.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove
any blanking plug that may be in place.
• Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 100 cm.
MAX 100cm
The end of the drain
hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside
diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the
outside diameter of the
drain hose. The drain
hose must not be kinked.
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum
of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining
piece is available from your Local Centre.

Special accessories
Rubber feet kit
Available from your authorized dealer.
The rubber feet are particularly recommended on float-
ing, slippery and wooden floors.
Mount the rubber feet to prevent vibration, noises and
displacement of the appliance during operation.
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.
First use
• Ensure that the electrical and water connec-
tions comply with the installation instructions.
• Ensure that the drum is empty.
• Before the first wash, run a cotton cycle at the
highest temperature without any laundry in the
machine, to remove any manufacturing residue
from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of
detergent into the main wash compartment and
start the machine.
Daily use
Sort out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the
laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, deli-
cates, woollens.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! Make sure
that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g.
hair clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pillowca-
ses, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie
any belts or long tapes.
Remove any hooks (e.g
curtains).
• Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites
may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
• New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the bag or a
net.
Remove stubborn stains before washing:
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent
then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover,
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat
several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the
garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fin-
gertips and a cotton cloth.
10
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust remov-
ing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which
are not recent since the cellulose structure will already
have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
1)
, lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks
with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat
with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual
marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone
1)
, then with acetic acid; treat any re-
sidual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Open the door by carefully pulling the door
handle outwards
Load the laundry
Place the laundry in the
drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as
much as possible.
Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
«Washing Programmes».
General rules:
• Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
• Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full.
Close the door gently
Warning! Make
sure that any fab-
rics were not trapped
when closing the door.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of de-
tergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste
and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate bal-
ance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fab-
ric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, wash-
ing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40°C max)
and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature
wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric,
or special for woollens only.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness
of the water used.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always to what is
written on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply
company, or from your local authority.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
11
If the water hardness degree is medium or high we sug-
gest you to add a water softener following always the
manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quan-
tity of the detergent.
Open the detergent dispenser drawer

• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a pow-
der with biological properties.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
• Remove the drawer.
• To aid cleaning, the
top part of the additive
compartment should
be removed.
• Use a stiff brush to clean and remove all washing
powder residue.
• Clean all the removed parts of the dispenser draw-
er under a tap to remove any traces of accumula-
ted powder.
